  • Sky Go does not allow video output over mobile devices, and casting options are limited. Bear in mind, Sky Go is not yet compatible with Chromecast. To use Chromecast to watch Sky Go on a smart TV, the screen mirroring hack is the best workaround method to do this, ensuring you enjoy your favourite content on your big screen.

This is very frustrating! You can’t watch your programs because of these issues. But don’t worry. It can be fixed…

Hi


I use Sky Go on my old mac mini (Late 2009) to watch F1


Up to the end of last season it was 'ok' odd dropped frame now and again but not too bad

Does Sky Go Work On Macbook Pro


I've just come to do the same again this year and it looks like they have updated things and it is now terrible/unwatchable with glitches every few seconds and the sound is about 0.5secs out of step with the picture the whole time


They say the min spec is a 1.8 Core Duo and mini is 2.26 with 3gb ram connected to a LG HD TV via HDMI


Is any one using Sky Go on this sort of setup or even a much newer mac mini connected to a hd tv ? does it perform this badly for you ? or is it fine ?

Looking for any experiences good or bad to try and find out if it is just me ?
